Markus -
Yes, cygwin is probably the fastest way for a windowsite to dip a toe in
the unix/gnu/linux world and stay productive in the meantime. Yes,
cygwin may act as a sort of trojan horse, sneaking "the unix way" into
"windows-only" shops.
But that's off-topic for this list.
Cygwin provides a *platform* for doing unixy stuff on windows -- if
newbies have questions about the *peculiarities* of that platform, then
this is the place to ask. E.g. *CYGWIN*-specific questions. General
unix/gnu/linux questions or tutorial requests on unix/gnu/linux are
*not* appropriate here, and Chris is absolutely corrent in referring
people to more appropriate sources of information.
However, if you would like to provide a "Newbie's Guide to Learning Unix
without leaving the comfort [sic] of Windows, Using Cygwin" feel free.
I'm sure Chris would LOVE to add a link to that page on the main cygwin
site (BTW, see Earnie's page on a similar subject:
http://gw32.freeyellow.com/index-cygwin.html )
